SELF-CLEANING
The self-cleaning function (N) cleans the inside of the plate and removes impurities. We recommend
using this every 10-15 days.
Instructions:
1. Fill the tank to the maximum level (O) and turn the steam selector switch (D) to „OFF“.
2. Place the iron in an upright position.
3. Turn the temperature control (G) to the „MAX“ position.
4. Plug the iron into the socket, and allow it to heat up for 2 minutes.
5. Unplug the power cord, remove the iron from the station, and hold it horizontally over a sink or basin.
6. Press the self-cleaning button (N) repeatedly for about a minute to activate the cleaning function.
This will release steam and water through the baseplate to remove any debris. Repeat the above steps
if necessary, especially in areas with hard water. [Fig. 9]
CAUTION: When using the self-cleaning
function, hot water and steam are emitted from the baseplate.
7. Place the iron in an upright position and allow it to cool down. This allows any residual water to dry out.
8. At the end of the self-cleaning cycle, connect the iron to the mains socket again and let it heat up for
two minutes so that any residual water in the steam chamber can dry out.
9. Run the baseplate over an old piece of fabric to clean off any residues.
10. When the baseplate has cooled down, you can clean it with a damp cloth. When you next use the iron,
allow it to heat up to its full capacity and turn the steam back on, then iron an old piece of fabric to
remove any remaining residues that may have built up around the steam outlets.
PUTTING THE IRON AWAY
1. Remove the plug from the socket.
2. Empty the tank by turning the iron upside down and gently shaking it.
3. Allow the iron to cool down completely.
4. Wrap the power cord around the station. Do not pull too hard on the power cord, as this could weaken
its fixing point. [Fig. 10]
5. Always place the iron in an upright position.
We recommend using the lowest temperature settings for fabrics that have unusual designs (sequins,
embroidery, decals, etc.). If the fabric is mixed (e.g. 40% cotton, 60% synthetic), set the thermostat to the
temperature for the fibre that needs the lower setting. If you do not know the composition of the fabric,
you can determine the correct temperature by testing a non-visible corner of the garment. Start with a low
temperature and gradually increase it until the ideal temperature is reached.
Never iron areas with sweat marks or other stains: the heat from the baseplate fixes the stains on the
fabric so that they can no longer be removed. To prevent silk, woollen or synthetic fabrics from gaining a
sheen, iron them inside out. To prevent velvet garments from gaining a sheen, iron in one direction (along
the grain) and do not put pressure on the iron.
The heavier the washing machine is loaded, the more creased the clothes are when they come out.
This also happens when the spin cycle has a very high number of revolutions.Many fabrics are easier to
iron if they are not completely dry. For example, silk should always be ironed with a damp cloth.
GENERAL CARE
Before cleaning, ensure that the Phoenix Gold® FreeFlight is unplugged and has completely cooled down.
Clean the ceramic plate and the body of the iron with a slightly damp cloth. Do not use an abrasive pad or
brush for cleaning any part of the iron.
If any synthetic fibres melt onto the baseplate, set the iron to “MAX“ and run it over a clean piece of cotton
cloth to pull the debris off the surface. To clean the exterior, allow the device to cool down, and wipe it with
a damp cloth and mild detergent, then wipe it dry.
